Google Maps on both iOS and Android has a new Air Quality layer that can be useful when planning your next hike or bike ride in good times, or to plan your escape from smog and smoke in bad.<\/p>\n

The new layer displays an Air Quality Index (AQI) overlay directly onto the map grid using government data gathered from agencies like the EPA in the US to show how healthy the air is in general. Better yet, it also presents data collected from PurpleAir\u2019s network of sensors to report hyperlocal conditions<\/a> at the street level. Clicking on the AQI readings dotted around Google Maps provides more information on the health impact of the air quality, time and source of the last reading, and links to learn more.<\/p>\n

PurpleAir\u2019s relatively low-cost sensors measure particulates using laser particle counters. \u201cYou basically shine a laser through the air and then the particles in the air reflect the light and the detector picks up those reflections,\u201d explained PurpleAir founder Adrian Dybwad to The Verge<\/em> back in 2020, when his company\u2019s sensors became a popular way to track the smoke produced by catastrophic wildfires raging across the West Coast. Last year Google Maps added a wildfire layer<\/a> to track the growing threat. <\/p>\n

In addition to PurpleAir, Breezometer<\/a> is also in the business of mapping hyperlocal air quality. Cowboy e-bike owners have relied upon the company\u2019s data<\/a> to avoid pollution on their commutes since early last year. Breezometer, however, uses complex models \u2014 not physical sensors \u2014 to achieve a claimed data resolution of 5-meters (about 16 feet).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
